When politicians perceive that there is a "problem" that needs solving, setting up a new and separate organisation with a "chief" or "Tsar", a new logo and a new office makes it look like they are "doing something".
Then, five or more years down the line, the rival politicians point out that they have now created 573 of these new bodies, and each one had to have a new office, high-paid boss, logo, letterhead, web site that nobody looks at, and that all of these have cost 37 Squillion pounds.
So, they then have a "bonfire" (subject to a licence from the B.R.A - the Bonfires Regulatory Authority, of course).
Repeat until the sun goes cold........
